Simple tips for caring for your linen trousers!

Linen – that wonderful, textured, and effortless material!

At Hujaus, you'll find two different linen trouser styles: the full-length Leuto and the culotte-length Meno. Explore the models and grab our care tips for your linen trousers at the end!

Leuto linen trouser

Leuto linen trousers feature a full-length wide leg with a high, gathered elastic waistband and matching linen drawstrings. They also feature side pockets—or a "safe haven for your hands," as many who have tried them on have put it. The Leuto cut is extremely flattering: the high waistband and wide elastic create a beautiful silhouette that accentuates the waist, while the wide legs create a long vertical line that flatters all body types. You can style the Leuto trousers for a casual everyday look or a dressy summer outfit—simply switch up your top and accessories, and they’ll suit both perfectly.

Meno linen culottes

Meno linen culottes are effortless and easy—it’s hard to think of a summer outfit they wouldn't suit. On the other hand, the culotte length works perfectly in autumn and even winter when you layer them with tights and pair them with combat boots. The Meno culottes feature a wide, culotte-length leg, a comfortable gathered elastic waistband, and side pockets.

Finding the Right Size for Linen Trousers

Linen is a non-stretch material, so keeping both comfort and durability in mind, your trousers need to have sufficient room. If the size is too snug, all the tension pulls on the seams, which won't hold up over time. When trying them on, it's worth bending down, sitting, and moving around to ensure you feel completely comfortable. Our size charts account for the necessary roominess. If you are deciding between two sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller size for the Meno culottes and the larger size for the Leuto linen trousers, as the Leuto fit is firmer around the hips compared to Meno.

Linen as a Material

Linen is a wonderfully breathable, textured, and comfortable fabric. It absorbs moisture without feeling damp, making it perfect even for hot summer days. Our trousers are crafted from OEKO-TEX 100-certified 100% linen. Linen is a natural fiber whose cultivation requires significantly less water and pesticides compared to cotton.

Care Tips for Your Linen Trousers

Wrinkling is part of linen's natural charm, so it's best to embrace it with a smile! We recommend washing on a gentle cycle at 30–40 degrees Celsius so the trousers don't come out completely crumpled. After washing, shake them straight and hang them on a trouser hanger to dry. You can iron them while damp if you wish, but it's by no means necessary.

We’d love to hear—are you already familiar with linen? Do you wear it strictly in the summer, or do you enjoy it year-round?
